C) MgO aka magnesium oxide
Answer:The formulas of ionic compounds are:
a)
b)
c)
d)
Explanation:
Formulas for the an ionic compounds is determine by:
Criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.
(a) Copper bromide :Given that it contains
ion.

(b) Manganese oxide : Given that it contains
ion.

(c)Mercury iodide :Given that it contains 

(d) Magnesium phosphate :Given that it contains 

Answer:
The procedure you will use in this exercise exploits the difference in acidity and solubility just described.
(a) you will dissolve your unknown in ethyl acetate (an organic solvent). All of the possible compounds are soluble in ethyl acetate.
(b) you will extract with sodium bicarbonate to remove any carboxylic acid that is present.
(c) you will extract with sodium hydroxide to remove any phenol that is present.
(d) you will acidify both of the resulting aqueous solutions to cause any compounds that were extracted to precipitate.
